The 2-year Treasury yield was last up by 6 basis points at 4.63%. The yield on the 10-year Treasury had risen 1 basis point to 4.21%. The 2-year Treasury yield ticked higher Thursday as investors considered the path ahead for interest rates following comments from a Federal Reserve official and prepared for key inflation data. Investors weighed the outlook for monetary policy and looked ahead to key economic data as uncertainty around when and how often interest rates will be cut this year persists. Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller on Wednesday said there was "no rush" to cut interest rates, adding that recent economic data indicated that rates may need to stay elevated for longer.

Looking at the recent performance of the market and several stocks in our portfolio, one thing is clear: This is a market that wants to go higher. We would much rather see stocks up on strong earnings instead of rising on lower rates that are only lower because the operating environment is deteriorating. But it's important to understand, at a high level, what kind of market we are still in — a bull market seeking new heights. We are fielding a lot of questions about how one should approach a market near all-time highs. Now, that doesn't mean stocks are on a one-way march higher and a pullback is impossible.

Gold bars of different sizes lie in a safe on a table at the precious metals dealer Pro Aurum. Gold prices were stuck in a tight range on Tuesday as investor focus turns to U.S. inflation data due later this week, which could shed more light on the timing of the Federal Reserve's first interest rate cut this year. Gold prices hit a record high last week after Fed policymakers indicated they still expected to reduce interest by three-quarters of a percentage point by 2024 end despite recent high inflation readings. Meanwhile, Fed Governor Lisa Cook cautioned the U.S. central bank needs to proceed carefully as it decides when to begin cutting interest rates. Lower interest rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding bullion.

An employee handles one kilogram gold bullions at the YLG Bullion International Co. headquarters in Bangkok, Thailand, on Friday, Dec. 22, 2023. Gold prices rose on Monday as renewed bets that the U.S. Federal Reserve would begin cutting interest rates in June and a softer dollar lifted bullion's appeal. The dollar was down 0.1% against its rivals, making gold less expensive for other currency holders. Looks like June is being the most probable time when they are sort of expected to pull the trigger on that first rate cut." Lower interest rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding bullion.

In that case, the Fed may have to push cuts out until the end of the year, confounding market expectations. If so, then the nonpolitical monetary policy committee might postpone considering rate cuts until after the November presidential elections," Yardeni wrote last week. "That could be the first rate cut decision of this year," Yardeni said. "We maintain our expectation of just two rate cuts this year , in July and December," economists at Nomura said in a client note. Clarida also noted that if the Fed judged inflation by the consumer price index instead of its preferred personal consumption expenditures price index, "we wouldn't even be discussing rate cuts."

Stubbornly high inflation could push the Federal Reserve into a more cautious stance this year regarding interest rate cuts, the central bank's former vice chair said Friday. "If the Fed were targeting CPI right now, we wouldn't even be discussing rate cuts," Clarida said. A Chicago Fed measure of financial conditions is at its loosest since January 2022.

The Federal Reserve will cut interest rates just 3 times in 2024, according to Goldman Sachs. The bank lowered its forecast for 4 interest rate cuts after elevated inflation data. AdvertisementHigher-than-expected inflation readings over the past two months have led Goldman Sachs to revise its 2024 interest rate forecasts. The bank now expects the Federal Reserve to deliver just three 25-basis point interest rate cuts this year, down from its prior projection of four rate cuts. Three interest rate cuts in 2024 is about half of what the market originally expected at the beginning of the year.

Housing, housing and more housingThe housing sector carries more than four times as much weight in CPI compared to the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge. But, with PCE, housing has a much more limited impact on the inflation index. Both indexes are faulted for using this metric to calculate housing inflationBoth indexes use a widely criticized metric called owners’ equivalent rent (OER) to track housing inflation. But it can often take months for these trends to show up in either the PCE or CPI housing indexes. Another issue with using OER to track housing inflation is that it doesn’t really affect homeowners.

New York CNN —Gold rose Tuesday after notching a record high the prior day, as investors continue to bet the Federal Reserve will cut rates in the back half of the year. The yellow metal was up about 0.4% on Tuesday morning, stabilizing somewhat after settling at an all-time high of $2,126.30 a troy ounce on Monday. However, some investors also believe gold to be a hedge against inflation, wagering that it will hold its value even if it begins to surge. The Personal Consumption Expenditures price index, the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, rose 2.4% for the 12 months ended in January. The milestones for both bitcoin and gold come as stocks continue to rally powerfully.

Corporate greed drove inflation higher in January, according to Fundstrat's Tom Lee. AdvertisementCorporate greed is the reason why inflation was hotter than expected to start the year, according to Fundstrat's head of research Tom Lee. Speaking to CNBC on Friday, Lee pointed to the slight uptick in January consumer inflation, with prices rising 3.1% year-over-year. That suggests the hotter-than-expected inflation reading to start 2024 was likely due to corporate "greedflation," or simply, businesses hiking prices because they're able to.

▼ + stars: | 2024-02-29 | by ( Jeff Cox | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Inflation rose in line with expectations in January, according to an important gauge the Federal Reserve uses as it deliberates cutting interest rates. The personal consumption expenditures price index excluding food and energy costs increased 0.4% for the month and 2.8% from a year ago, as expected according to the Dow Jones consensus estimate. The moves came amid an unexpected jump in personal income, which rose 1%, well above the forecast for 0.3%. January's price increases reflected an ongoing shift to services over goods as the economy normalizes from the Covid pandemic disruptions. Thursday's BEA report also showed that consumers are continuing to dip into savings as prices stay elevated.
